As the title says the UI still needs lots of work. For example THIS looks like a health indicator while the actual HP is barely noticeable. And just overall it is still a stepdown from anything we had before. The addition of compass is great though!

@Pennywise359 Would prefer to simply go back to like BF4 styled HUD. It was simple, nice and clean. Greets, Travis

@ragnarok013 @Pennywise359 @ghinavirus EA/DICE: That is the new Battlefield 2042! 🙌 Me: Hm... nah 🤨just gimme BF4 and i'll adjust the rest myself. 😉 lol Greets, Travis

@CyberDyme The color scheme is garish, and I it hard to look a glowing blues for me, so I hope we will be able to adjust it.The flickering of the UI is a feedback of interference in the vicinity, like storms, emp blasts, etc. I doesn't matter that this design decision is unrealistically.

Oh you really think so @carsono311 ? 😀Maybe its just me, but which software coder team in their right mind would think: "Oh yeah, we are going to make our soldier UI now for a futuristic setting in 2042, so how about we make it as clunky and unreadable low-res as back in the first PC shooter games back in the early 1990ties?"Brilliant game btw, doing absolutely fine at the time with a readable UI at 320x200... 😎

@Its_Travis_199 Yessss. I hope they give an option to change all the colours because I am changing it to either grey or white like BF4. :D

@Its_Travis_199 100% agree! After playing every Battlefield title the BF4 UI is simply the standard IMO. 2042 is just ugly and blocks way too much of the screen.

@Pennywise359 That is the most useless part of the UI. On PC there is T below it, to help you remember which key to press for the Plus system. It switches to display the firing mode when aim down sight.

@Pennywise359 Sure, it needs work, but I actually like the new design and some of the iconography EA DICE are trying to incorporate.

It is a bit garish at times though, so they definitely need to have a means to adjust it.

Yes, because the game was made to be played on consoles. Thats why the GUI is big, ugly and clunky. (No offense to console gamers).

Because it is.
We have perfect 4k 120FPS monitors on consoles.
So the UI is looking just as clunky and awful on consoles as it does on PC's.
There is zero excuse for EA game designers not to have made the UI super sharp and crisp, as we all wanted it to be.
